Text number

Add a text number to opt-in to text messages about your bike. This lets your organization contact you more quickly if there is an issue with your bike.

Allow all 529 partner law enforcement agencies to view the contact information I have stored on my account.

By sharing your contact information with 529 partner law enforcement agencies, it may help get your bike back to you. For example, if police find your bike and you have shared your phone number, they can call you to confirm your bike is missing and sieze the bike even if you have not reported it missing with us yet. Sharing your contact information can also be used to help prevent fraudulent registrations.

That looks like a frame part number (which is not unique), not a serial number. Please check again.

You have already registered a bike with this serial number. If you want to edit your registration, go to Your Garage to select the bike.

What is a 529 Shield?

The shield ID will be the 7 character (no numbers) code on the of your shield decal.

Project 529 Shields are available for free at VPD pop up registration events. Some Community Policing Centres will also provide Shields free of charge. Make sure to call ahead and confirm before attending a location near you. Many of our local bike shops also offer shields at a small cost. This cost helps support upkeep/operations of the Project 529 program and online database.

How to Report a Bike Theft

If your bike has been stolen, it's important to report the theft to police - this helps the police better understand the scope of the problem and assign resources to those areas. If you haven't reported it stolen, we won't know to look for it and it will not be on the police database should police come across it.

If your stolen bike is listed for sale on an online marketplace, buyers won't be able to search for your serial number online and won't be aware the bike is stolen. It will also be necessary for an insurance claim or to collect your bike from any police agency that recovers it. If you have video of the theft, please advise this when making your report.

To report your bike stolen, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Start an alert on your bike on the 529 Garage website or app.

If your bike isn't registered, register it first with all the information that you have about your bike, and then start the alert.

Go to your garage
